Nick and Nigel discussing the hidden costs of sterile medical device production including shipping in a Bio Break episode, with text overlay reading 30% Hidden Costs

The Hidden Costs of Sterile Medical Device Production

Nick and Nigel breaks down what actually goes into the cost of getting a sterilized device into a user’s hands, and why up to 30% of costs can sit in places most teams don’t plan for.

Theranostics Delivery Workflow: Why the Technology Is Ahead of the System

Theranostics combines diagnosis and therapy into a single targeting system, using one ligand to attach to two different radioactive payloads, one for imaging and one for treatment. It represents a significant shift in how cancer is being identified and treated. But the theranostics delivery workflow tells a different story.
